    Sharing my finished (but surely incomplete) Global Digital Media grad syllabus. I'm proud of it, and it's filled with great scholars and scholarship, but I'm always looking for new stuff and ways to improve.

    I'm so excited to teach this grad seminar so please share any new work on global media that you wrote or read recently. Syllabus includes among many others. Still working on it but will share soon

    On New Year’s Eve, my 6yo daughter was eating a hotdog walking in Boston Common. She dropped the last bite of it out of the bun, didn’t realize, stepped on it, slipped, and fell. Closest I’ve ever seen to the banana peel incident in real life.

    I SLIPPED ON A BANANA PEEL. THIS IS REAL. THE DANGER IS REAL.

    Great article from . Men if you want to be *effective* feminist allies: recognise women's achievements (in public and private), given specific feedback, challenge gender discrimination, and reexamine those HR processes which you think are neutral (but aren't).

    Great episode that really captured the decade, but my favorite part was definitely 's afterball about his daughter's team. I *think* that's the first time I've cried listening to this show but could be wrong. It has been 10+ years.

    The Catch and Kill podcast is so, so good. Listen to it! I'm looking forward to assigning it in a future class (esp. ep. 2) b/c it's both a quality product & shows the journalistic process. Of course, it's an extreme case but the lessons are relevant for all aspiring journalists.
